“Ganga Aarti is a time in which we break free from the normal stresses and strains of everyday life and gather together in joy, reverence and peace.” — Mother Divine Last Sunday evening I went to a devotional non religious ritual on the Ganges at Parmarth Niketan Ashram as the sun was setting, which was […]
Yoga TTC in India with Rishikesh Yog Peeth: day 4
I’m not sure where to start in describing my experience so far doing a 500 hour yoga teacher training with Rishikesh Yog Peeth. It’s the end of the fourth day and I just feel so happy and grateful for the opportunity to be here — especially after having a bit of a headache for the […]
My first day in the holy town of Rishikesh in pictures
I’m writing this on my balcony in the holy town of Rishikesh — nicknamed the birthplace of yoga — and feeling excited to start my 500 hour yoga teacher training in a few days at Rishikesh Yog Peeth. Here are some photos of my first full day in Rishikesh.
India, here I come: my checklist for arriving in the monsoon
This time tomorrow I’ll be in India, where I’ll be spending the next three months doing another yoga teacher training, accredited with the Yoga Alliance. It all feels a bit surreal right now but as I sit and write this I feel like I’m exactly where I want to be. Now it’s only a day […]
Should a yoga session just be about asana practice?
Most modern yoga classes in London are predominantly asana based with some pranayama, a short relaxation at the end, and maybe some chanting. I remember when I did 30 days of a popular style of hot yoga and many people chose to leave before Savasana had even begun. I suppose it’s easy to get all […]
What to do if you have an unexpected meditation or spiritual experience?
I decided to write this post in response to some of the comments I’ve received from other articles on my blog — particularly the kundalini energy interview I did with Jeanette Amlie and my post on some of the dangers of meditation. I’m not in a position to provide direct advice or analyse your experiences. […]
My new 30 day challenge: running, brain training and tetris
When I’m teaching yoga, I always tell people that if they come across any poses they really dislike, it’s probably because they need them the most. I’ve certainly found this to be true, after months of really hating locust pose. However, it’s now one of my favourites. If it’s true in yoga, I thought I’d […]
Your 20s: is it the decade to experiment, plan, or extend your teens?
A few months before I turned 30, I came across an article written by clinical psychologist Meg Jay, which inspired me to watch her TED talk below — Why 30 is not the new 20. It made me reflect on how I’d spent my own 20s, what advice I’d give to my 20 year old […]
Wim Hof Method: review by a yoga teacher
I am an affiliate of the Wim Hof Method, which is still a part of my daily life four years on. I’ve recommended it to pretty much all my family and friends and highly recommend it to you too, especially as there is currently 50% off. It’s for anyone looking for the ultimate course in boosting […]
Introducing Yoga Spirit Art — my new Etsy art shop
A few weeks ago, my Mum and I created Yoga Spirit Art — an Etsy art shop, selling affordable handmade zen/yoga/nature art prints. At the end of 2015, I got really into making mandalas, which first started as a 30 day challenge, where I’d do a piece of mandala art every day for 30 days. This […]
